I raised my heavy hand out from under my pillows and slammed it down upon my alarm clock. I missed the snooze button and tried again. Another miss. Getting ticked off at the clock, I swung my legs off the edge of the bed and sat up. "Alright, I'll get up." I blurted, turning off the alarm. I grabbed my glasses and put them on face so I could see my surroundings. I got off of the bed and left my room. "Stupid clock." I mumbled under my breath, walking to my next destination. The Bathroom. I grabbed my glasses and placed them on the bathroom counter. I washed my face and took off my clothes. I got in the shower and let the water wake me up. The water rushed over my body as I washed my body and hair.

I heard knocking on the bathroom door. "Katie! That's a long enough shower. I have to take one too, ya know!" I knew it was my older brother, James. I got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body. I brushed my teeth, grabbed my glasses and a hairbrush so I could take it to my room. I opened the door to find James sitting next to it. "Finally, you've been in there for years." I shook my head.

"For a 19 year old you act like a 5 year old pretty often." I retorted and walked back into my room. I grabbed my clothes from the dresser and placed them on the bed. I put my wet, auburn hair into bun and put my clothes on. I put on my makeup for the day, then dried and straightened my hair.

I shoved my phone into my pocket as I went downstairs to get some breakfast and I realized the time. Shit, I was already an hour late to class. I ran and grabbed my backpack from the closet under the staircase. "James! Can you drive me to class?" I yelled from the bottom of the stairs.

"No! I'm only a 5 year old. Remember?" I rolled my eyes, and I ran out the front door of the house. School was only 4 blocks away but I was feeling lazy. I reached into my pocket for my phone. I had a text. It was from one of my best friends, Carolyn. 'Where are you? Did you sleep in again?' it read. I disregarded the text and shoved the phone back into my pocket. I ran to the school the rest of the way.

Once I made it to the school, I checked into the office. I had to make sure I was excused from missing the past hour. I walked in the halls passing each of the classrooms. I passed by Mark's locker, then Carolyn's, and stopped at mine. At the beginning of the year we tried our hardest to get our lockers right next to each other and we we're so happy when we did. I dropped of the extra binders and folders into my locker and closed it. I continued my trip down the never ending halls. Rm 259, rm 300, rm 301, ahh here we are, rm 302. I walked into what should've been my 2nd period class of the day and dropped my head down. Hoping the teacher wouldn't notice me slipping in.

"Miss Swanson. You're late." I brought my head up to see Mr. Richards scowling at me. I looked around the class and saw Mark and Carolyn in the back staring at me.

"Sorry, Mr. Richards." I said bringing my attention back to my upset English teacher.

"Take a seat, Miss Swanson. We were just going over our what we've read in Of Mice and Men, chapter 3." he said getting back to the class. I took a seat in between Carolyn and Mark, like I always did.

"Late, like always, Miss Swanson." Mark whispered, mocking Mr. Richards.

"Yeah, Miss Swanson. What's your reason this time?" Carolyn asked, also in a mocking tone.

"I didn't wake up on time. Like usual." I stated, opening my backpack to get the book out to join the class. We carried on doing our usual classroom assignments. As class ended we carried on our day like teenagers usually do. Complaining on how much school is just awful, causing mischief, and copying down each others homework when we forget to do it. Periods 3-6 were just as boring as 2nd.

After school ended Mark and Carolyn invited me out get an after school snack with them, I declined but offered if they wanted to come over to my house. And so we went. We walked back to house, to see no one was home. James must be out with his friends and my parents might still be at work.

We opened the door and walked straight to the kitchen for snacks. Carolyn insisted on cooking some food for us. I set my stuff down in the closet under the staircase, and walked into the living room and sat next to Mark. "Wanna play some games?" he asked. I nodded and got the controllers out.

"What are we gonna play?" Carolyn asked, walking in while the water was taking its marry old time boiling.

"Mario." I grinned evilly.

"Oh I am so gonna beat you at this cuz I am too pro!" Mark smirked cockily.

"OkMark." I stated sarcastically.

We were about five levels in when Mark lost all his five lives. There was one area that he couldn't get past and then when he tried speed running back up to the spot he just kept dying.

"Ok I got this..... Jump, aww shit no STUPID FUCKING MOLE MAN!!!!" He screamed, slamming his fist in the floor.

"Hey Mark you mad or nah?" I laughed.

"Shut. Up. Miss Swanson." Mark retorted.
